The Grove

Taking The Grove for a spin on the four-wheeler. And using something between a hug and a death grip to ensure his safety.

Dipes on the head

Breakfast is far from a formal meal in the Nephew household. On Friday, it involved no pants and diapers on the head.

One baby. One yogurt. Five minutes.

The maniacal laughter tells the whole story.

Coolest. Parents. Ever.

Yes, we got Kiran a sliding pond for her room!

New 'do

I decided after Kiran's bath tonight that the time has come to start training her hair to go backwards, in preparation for pony tails and pig tails. She looks pretty silly...

Miss Independent

Kiran picked out her own accessories this morning: beach shoes, a plastic apron, and a back pack. And, in case you wondering, she doesn't think she needs any help to open the door for Guin Guin, either.

Sandcastles

Building sandcastles.

Skeptical

Highly skeptical about this ocean thing.

Stickers at breakfast

Nothing turns an ordinary breakfast extraordinary like putting a bunch of stickers on your face.

Hello , Sir

Hello, Sir. You and I seem to be about the same size.

Country girl

Kiran with flowers and a weathered fence.

Meadow

Kiran frolicking in a meadow!

[Or some weeds between a highway exit ramp and a hotel parking lot. But it looks good, huh? And she had a blast...]
